Boston Scientific CRE Balloon Dilators M00558450
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter (Model M00558450) is a sterile, single-use device designed to dilate strictures in the esophagus, pylorus, or colon. It features an 8 cm non‑compliant Pebax balloon that inflates sequentially to 6 mm, 7 mm, and 8 mm. The catheter integrates a central guidewire and platinum‑iridium radiopaque markers for precise fluoroscopic placement.
This wire guided design maintains endoscope access while navigating tight or tortuous anatomy, streamlining dilation procedures and reducing device exchanges. The balloon inflates in three stages—6 mm at 3 ATM, 7 mm at 6 ATM, and 8 mm at 10 ATM—allowing controlled stepwise dilation using a single catheter. Rounded shoulders aid visual assessment during inflation, and embedded radiopaque markers assist in accurate fluoroscopic positioning. With its low-profile 7.5 Fr shaft, 240 cm working length, and compatibility with ≥ 2.8 mm scope channels, it’s well-suited for a wide range of GI dilation procedures.
